Help Family and Guests on Your Wedding Day
Weddings come with a certain amount of stress. However, once you arrive at your special day, all of the stress will melt away. While planning your ceremony and reception on Staten Island, you may want to keep these elements in mind to help your family and friends to have the best time possible as well.
Ways to Help Your Family and Friends on the day of your Wedding and Reception:
Make a Uniform Child Policy
You love your family and you do not wish to offend or cost anyone extra money for a babysitter for the night. However, if you do not wish to have any children at the ceremony or reception you have to come up with a solution that will help everyone. Sweeten the deal by offering them something they cannot refuse! Free childcare: If your budget allows, you can hire a child care service to provide care. Whether you want the personnel at the venue (so all of their parents can be in close reach), at a hotel, or a family member’s home, see what options work best for your friends and family. Unless the children are in the wedding party, it is best to stay firm with all of your wedding guests on this issue. Your sister or potential brother-in-law love their children too. Discuss this with them and you will ease the trouble that usually comes with this situation.
Hotel Rooms
After picking the date of your wedding, consider looking for hotels in the vicinity of your wedding and reception for guests who do not live in the area. Many hotels will give you the chance to reserve a block of rooms and offer you a special and reduced rate. Make sure to check if the hotel insists on giving you a contract with cancellation charges, you do not want to pay for rooms you cannot fill. Also, keep in mind to look at several hotels for different price points for your guests. Choose the one that can benefit all going.
Help Your Single Friends Out
If you have mutual friends that are also single going to your reception, try to organize your seating chart in a way to place them together. You do not want to force them to sit alone or next to a couple ogling each other all night. If you can afford to let singles bring a guest try to ask if they would like one so you can still organize where everyone will sit. Otherwise, size or budget issues or a never-ending guest list provided by your parents are a good reason to give them for not allowing a plus one.
